Import Tips
• Obtain material safety data sheets (MSDS) and purity certificates, as barium is reactive and requires UN hazmat classification (UN1406)
• Verify no interalloying; if alloyed with other metals, reclassify to Section XV (Chapter 72+)
• Use proper storage documentation to avoid oxidation claims during customs inspection
